The One Stroller That Looks Like Yours
Every stroller at the park looks like every other stroller at the park: same canopy, same frame, same black-on-black. The Ultra S2 was designed to be the exception.
The scalloped canopy reads like fashion, the Rachel finish photographs like it was styled on purpose, and underneath sits a full-size stroller that weighs 17 lbs, reverses its seat, and folds with one hand. Here is why parents who see one remember it.
5 Reasons Parents Choose The Ultra S2 Rachel
1. It turns heads without trying
Its beauty speaks for itself. The signature scalloped canopy, finished in the soft Rachel tone, gives the Ultra S2 Rachel an unmistakable silhouette that feels effortlessly elegant.
2. Everything gets easier at 17 lbs
The trunk lift, the apartment stairs, the airport gate check: all one-handed, because the whole stroller weighs about as much as a toddler's backpack collection.
3. One seat, both directions
Your newborn gets the early months of eye contact and reassurance, then flips forward when they are ready to take in the world, because the seat reverses with multiple positions.
4. It folds one-handed, either direction
Parent-facing or world-facing, the fold works in one motion with the seat still on, and stays compact enough for small trunks and hallway closets.
5. It is ready from day one
Your newborn rides secure in the built-in enclosure, shaded by the double-extension canopy, and a bassinet is available separately for the full flat setup.
